About The Quilts
Cole takes commission orders on a case-by-case basis for custom picture quilts, wall hangings and other quilted crafts. Each quilt pattern is drafted by Cole. Cole's quilts are custom designed, and each change in color you see is a separate piece of fabric. These pieces can be as small as 1 cm. This process is a time-consuming labor of love. It can take 6-18 months to complete one quilt. These quilts are not like anything you will find in a store and are meant to be treasured for a lifetime. Quilts are machine washable.
What makes Cole's Quilts different?
Cole's Quilts is just one guy who likes to sew. Hi, I am Cole. I never use the patterns of other quilters to create my quilts. I specialize in designing a quilt that is special and geared toward the uniqueness of the person it is being designed for. I will not sell the pattern used for your quilt to anyone else unless you specifically approve it. Most of the quilts I make are pictures and not what someone thinks of when they think of the word quilt.
A Note on Quilt Pricing
If you have never bought a custom-made quilt, you may be surprised by how expensive they are. I would like my quilts to be affordable however, many people do not realize the cost and time that goes into quilting. For example, the fabric, batting, and other supplies for a queen size quilt can cost anywhere from $300-1,000. The time it takes to complete a complicated custom quilt can be anywhere from 3-20 hours to design and draw up the pattern and 200-1000 hours or more of sewing, cutting and quilting. If you were to pay someone minimum wage for the quilt work that would be $3,045-$15,300+$300-$1,000 for expenses. I don’t expect most people to be able to afford to pay that much for a quilt. So, the prices you see are high enough to cover costs plus enough profit for me to be able to keep quilting.
Step 1: Send us an email!
Designing a quilt so unique takes some work. When you contact me about a quilt you will be asked a series of questions so I can get an idea of what you are looking for.
Step 2: First deposit of $10.
In order to start the process you will be charged $10 for a rough draft of the quilt idea to be emailed to you. This also includes one re-draft if it is not quite right. This money will go toward the overall price of the quilt.
*If you require more than one redraft a second $10 deposit is required.
Step 3: Your price quote.
Once a draft and details are agreed upon, you will be sent a price quote.
Step 4: Put down 50%.
I will email you a contract with all the deatials that we will both sign and then once you send 50% of the total price quote (minus the draft fee) I will begin work on your quilt.
Step 5: Watch the process.
You will be sent progress pictures so that you feel that you are part of every step and you know how close to finished your quilt is.
Step 6: Last payment.
Pay the second 50% and the shipping fee once you have received confirmation that your quilt is done and it will be shipped to you. If you live in the western Washington area a meet up can be arranged to avoid the shipping fee.
Step 7: Cuddle your quilt.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
KEVIN, SUPER MARIO 2 QUILT
This quilt is absolutely wonderful. The level of detail is astounding. From a distance, it is a wonderful rendering of a classic game. When you get up close you see how much care and attention was put in. The waterfall has fish fabric and is quilted with blue waves. The 2 blocks that make up the sky are all sky fabrics. One is actually the sky from Starry Night. Each object perfectly interacts with the sky blocks. They are not appliqued on mind you. If each pixel is a square then Cole made sure the sky around Toad, the coins, the masks, etc. are all pixel-perfect when he was piecing them. The best thing I can say is what my friends told me during a dinner party. They said it was a perfect balance between a medieval tapestry and a modern masterpiece. High quality, whimsical, one of a kind. Thank you Cole <3
KRISTIN, LINK WALLHANGING
I commissioned Cole to make a custom quilted Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker wall hanging for my partner as a wedding gift. I was so impressed with how the final piece turned out! Working with Cole to design the project was a lot of fun. He took my initial idea for a stained glass wall hanging and took it to an impressive level by using paper
piece quilting. We went back and forth on design elements and he was very receptive to my questions and
suggestions. His pricing for the quality and workmanship that goes into his craft is very reasonable, especially for a custom piece of art. I loved being able to follow along with progress on his social media. The final project was completed quickly, and he took the time to make sure it would be ready to hang when I gifted it. My husband is very happy with his gift. It's a unique art piece for our new home that we will cherish forever. Thank you so much!
ANDIE, OCTOPUS QUILT
This quilt is phenomenal. The planning alone that must have gone into it astounds me. With Cole's complex design and variety of fabrics, every time I look at the quilt, I find some new, charming detail that I hadn't noticed before. The closer you look, the more you find, and this close attention to detail really showcase Cole's quilting ability. Besides its beauty, it is evident that the quilt is of high quality. The stitching is immaculate and the design is practical and durable. I am very happy with this quilt, and expect to get many good years of cozy use out of it.
RACHELLE, STARDEW VALLEY QUILT
I commissioned a quilt from Cole, and am absolutely blown away with the results. He was so helpful with figuring out the design, providing updates, and shipping to Canada from the U.S. I will treasure this piece of art for years to come, and can't thank Cole enough for the amazing work! The attention to detail and creativity is out of this world. Thank you Cole!
